is very interesting the use of mathematics tools,as fractal to find some pictures useds inconsciousment by that mathematics tecnics,that are fractals.the pointilism must seen by fractals

According to IFAR, Taylor was hired to examine the paintings for fractals. Why not just check the paintings for fingerprints? DNA? You know, the things that are admissible in a court of law? According to Art News Magazine, "It is a growing consensus in the art world that IFAR has lost it's credibility and is nearing extinction."

IFAR SCANDAL TO BE PUBLISHED: Recently, an owner of a Jackson Pollock painting submitted a fully cataloged, undisputed Pollock to IFAR. Yet, after six months of research, the picture was deemed "not by the hand of Jackson Pollock", according to the IFAR report. The reason for their decision: lack of provenance. However, the picture is cataloged in the Jackson Pollock Catalogue Raisonne by Eugene V. Thaw and Francis V. O'Connor. The owner decided to conduct this research to test the skills of IFAR, according to sources. Obviously, they have failed the test...or the Catalogue is wrong? You decide. The results will be published and distributed soon via the Associated Press.

I believe DNA and/or fingerprints would not play a critical role in the authentication attempts of the Matter paintings. The paintings were discovered among Herbert Matter's personal effects; Pollock was a close friend of the Matters and even (I believe) lived with them for some time. So it is entirely possible that he could have handled the paintings yet not be the artist. Some believe they were done by Herbert Matter's wife... if she (or any other person) created them and, for example, asked Pollock to examine or critique them, they could easily bear his fingerprints yet not be done by him.

i fail to see how the initial conclusion follows from the latter assertion. for if identifiable fingerprints are found in the paintings, and none belong to pollock, surely we can rule out his authorship... the same for dna.
therefore, i see no reason to rule out a critical role for dna or fingerprints in the authentication of the Matter paintings. it does not have to work both ways to have a critical role.
cheers!

Fractals by Pollack. What will they come up with next? The art world never disputed that he was a genius for doing the same work as a five year old, and bringing in the big bucks, they never tried to explain his talent at garnering an audience....by saying he was a mathmatician...before, so why start now.
He was popular for having been at the right place at the right moment, in art history. Apparently the world wanted something naif and fresh and very innocent when he became a star. Anyone with paint can do what he did. Sheeesh!

indeed; if the paintings could be shown conclusively to contain no Pollock DNA/fingerprints, then that would certainly seem to suggest they were not done by him. however, the contrary is not true, which is what i was getting at in my previous post: if Pollock's fingerprints were found on the paintings, it does not mean he created them, just that he handled them (which, given the provenance of the Matter paintings , seems entirely possible).

awwh come on! Do you like it? Or was it a investment?
If you buy something cause you find it beautiful in any way, then it is, at least to you :)
This world is to hung up on money..
